Before Trump's Space Force... PERIMETER PATROL SERVICE "Mission to Malooka"

For our final Perimeter Patrol Service tale...
...we present their first story!
This never-reprinted story from Ziff-Davis' Amazing Adventures #5 (1952) is a superb example of pulp/comic space opera of the era with all the classic elements:
Square-jawed heroes.
Rockets & ray-guns.
Literal bug-eyed monsters!
No scantly-clad women, but the other Perimneter Patrol Service sagas have them.
BTW, this premiere is illustrated by Murphy Anderson, who had just finished his first run on the Buck Rogers newspaper strip.
He would later specialize doing sci-fi/fantasy at DC Comics, including Hawkman, Adam Strange, and Superman!
Note: as of this week, we're re-making Saturdays into "Space Force Saturday", re-presenting tales of various military and law-enforcement organizations, most of them never-reprinted!
Don't miss them!
